When people talk about crappy performance, does this include this thing being able to put up a little bit of a smokeshow? Does it have decent wheelspin when full throttling from standstill? Mid-drive speed boosting doesn't work in this either I presume? How is it traction wise?

Does a normal burnout like any other car but yeah the mid drive speed boost is broken, and the car has a whole lot of traction, almost too much.

 

I really expect once Rockstar fixes these new cars that it will end up a bit more loose.

 

It drives like a Rapid GT Classic with more traction.

 

Hmm that's a bit of a shame but it certainly won't stop me from buying it. Here's to hoping it gets a bit more loose indeed, I don't care how it performs on a track in all honesty. I wanna cruise in it, go sideways in it and do burnouts in it.

Well customization kinda sucks... It could be worse but it's a letdown.

I will never understand why silly vehicles are well made but most iconic and most requested vehicles are almost always half-assed

Elllie, Jetpack, Sea Sparrow, Deluxo, KITT - things that been requested for years and you can barely change a thing...

Im loving the design, sound, suspension rake, and tire width increase from sport tires. I would like to see more customization, but tbh I would still end up with the stock config since I Love the Eleanor design. But the GARBAGE "Advanced Flags" nonsense that wont even let it do the standard burnout has got to go. When a dilientante can do a better burnout, its a sad day for Muscle Car Enthusiasts. SMH R*

yea I was, ill have to try a classic paint like mach said. I hate how paints look different in lsc than when you take them outside. I cant seem to find a good color to match the real eleanor.

I'm hearing and understanding the complaints of it being slow, but for me this is perfect.

 

I encourage everyone, drive slow for a while, and I do mean slow. Follow traffic laws. Yes, all of them. Red lights, stop signs, speed limits. If you're on console, find yourself a free aim lobby. It's easier to roll with the flow when you can't be auto aimed through the window at 60. Because when you do that with Ellie she really shines. She's a lot like the Albany Alpha, in my eyes actually. They both give off a mean appearance and sound. Ellie has the look of a bar fight in her eyes, the "We don't call 911" look. The Alpha has that button man, high class cruelty look. They both look wonderful cruising with traffic, not standing out too terribly much even. And when you need to get up and go you can mash the accelerator and get out of dodge. For that, Ellie's perfect.

 

But seriously, cruise with traffic in a lowrider for a few days, race around in a Voodoo, get used to that speed then jump in Ellie, she'll feel like a rocket.

I'll probably get executed for this, but I like the sluggishness, just feels good since it's different and these shouldn't compete with modern cars anyway

Give Metallic Silver w/Ice White Pearl a try. The black stripes still show very well and it looks really close to real life Eleanor.

so i bought it,drove it around and i must say that i'm a bit let down.

 

not because of the car itself but because of that glitch.

 

it makes it so slow to drive and it just sounds unnatural whenever you go over a bump.

 

i will LOVE it when the glitch is fixed for sure.

I'm debating leaving the suspension stock on the Ellie. Has anyone else noticed it drives much better with stock suspension?

I went with rolled steel classic but I like this combo too. I think the original was pepper grey but I only see grey in matte.

Where is the idle rumble though. This car is supposed to have like 500 hp lol

I dont understand how hard it would be to record the sound of a real muscle car and replace this crap sound.

Maybe cause of the current glitch lol but I like to keep certain cars of mine fitted with stock suspension regardless of how it affects performance. They just look better with it stock lol.

I went with the 1st level of suspension. It's too low with the others if you go for a more traditional look.

 

If you use sport/Suv/high end rims I would lower it all the way.

I don't expect Rockstar to "fix" any of the cars in this update, I doubt they think anything is wrong.

Wtf are you talking about the idle is badass on this car. Are you even driving the right vehicle?

 

It literally sounds exactly as it should.

 

Edit: My bad that came out harsher than intended. Seriously though it has a real nice cammed engine idle.

Something is definitely wrong. They've made mistakes like this in the past and corrected them soon after thanks to the community.

it should be much louder. I literally have to blast my volume at double what I usually have it on just to hear it. My stock 93 sounds better than this lol
